If puddin has her DVR going on CBS, there are plenty of chances for a new promo to pop up during today's college basketball tripleheader. Unfortunately, I've been at work since 8 a.m. today so I'm not near a TV.

I wonder how a Team finishes this gypsy Detour? A certain number of items on the cart, a certain amount of weight (but one would need a truck scale) or just move this pile of junk from point A to point B.

Well a lot depends if the early arrivals get a train out before the other teams arrive in Romania. If they all get bunched up at the Gara de Nord train station and leave together.....for Brasov....it will be really really big shoooe tonight......as Ed used to say.

I think it sucks going out of a race due to a missed flight connection you can never control. (UCHENNA AND JOYCE)

Joab, I agree with you that it realy sucks, but I diagree that it beyond the control of a team. Uchenna and Joyce were warned that it was risky to connect in Frankfurt. They elected to take that risk and it bit them. They could have controlled their risk by that the later-leaving and landing flights that 3 other teams did. Or they could have had a really good travel agent working on it and got on the connection through Vienna that got Charla and Mirna there severla hours before the others. They wanted to get their before most other teams, which would have happened if they did not run into those problems in Frankfurt.

They were warned that it's risky, took the risk, and can't control the outcome that it became the later flight. If that makes sense.

Yeah, I had no sympathy for what happened to Uchenna & Joyce. Remember this could be the season with the most trouble that teams have had in airports.

From a unexpected holiday putting some teams over a day behind the first flight. To a team being removed from a flight (thats never happened), to teams missing the connection on the flights producers provide for them.

Hell just two legs earlier they had missed a connection that was longer (getting to Warsaw).

So to take the risk, when they were on a level playing field, with just 5 other teams left (fewer teams means its less likely for another team to royally screw up), was incredible stupid. Even 2 other teams warned them of this.
